" A rest stop for Greyhound bus passengers on the way from Louisville, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee, with separate accommodations for colored passengers." [Sign: "Colored Dining Room in Rear."] Location: E-5153 Reproduction Number: LC-USZ62-62919 This picture was taken outdoors, during the day time. It looks like it could be around 2:30 in the afternoon. In this picture there is a rest stop for bus passengers, and an African American dinning place in the back of the place. It doesn’t look like a new place, but it looks like the location was randomly chosen. It’s kind of a lonely place to stick a diner if you ask me. The structure in the picture is the rest stop/diner. It is sort-of an old looking, cheaply built place to go. And Like I said before, I don’t think a lot of thought went into building this, because it doesn’t look like it was planned or anything. It looks more like a port-o-potty at a ball park than a diner. The tone of this paragraph is positive, because even though it looks like a cheap place to go, especially to eat, it makes you happy that African Americans have some place to go at all. It’s not dark or light, but its gray. Its light in the way that African Americans were finally gaining freedom, but dark in the sense that they have to be separated from whites, as if they carried a disease. This photo makes me wonder how African Americans could put up with all the racism and hate pointed directly toward them, for reasons they were born with, and cannot do anything about. It’s not fair, and if I were them, It would drive me to insanity. Two questions I would ask the photographer of this picture would be: When you see places like this, does it make you sad or happy? If you were in charge of setting up places for African Americans, would you make them nicer than this?

"A cafe near the tobacco market." [Signs: Separate doors for "White" and for "Colored."] Location: E-9064 Reproduction Number: LC-USF33-20513-M2 This picture was taken outside, during the daytime. It looks to be early afternoon, at around 11:30. In the picture there is a Restaurant with two separate doors for African Americans and for whites. There are cars parked outside the building that is advertising their lunches. The thing that sticks out the most is the two separate windows and doors for African Americans and whites. The structures in the picture are the cars and the buildings. They are on a busy street, packed close next to each other. Surrounding the main restaurant building in the picture is another building, but I can’t make out what it is for. The tone of the picture is negative. It’s kind of sad, but stranger to us that they made African Americans and whites go through different doors.It makes you wonder why segregation was even happening. This photograph makes you wonder why people thought that skin color makes somebody superior or inferior. It really doesn’t have to do with anything. To me, its just as equivalent to the color of our eyes. We never made people with blue eyes walk through different doors than people with green eyes, did we? Two questions I would ask the photographer: Do you think segregation is necessary? Do you ever feel bad for African Americans? South Carolina. June 1939.

"A highway sign advertising tourist cabins for Negroes." [Sign: "Cabins for Colored."] Location: E-527 Reproduction Number: LC-USF34-51945-D This picture looks like it was taken at around 5:00 in the afternoon. It was taken outdoors and it looks like a rural part of a town. In this picture, there is a little shack that is for African Americans to live in if they need some place to stay. It’s really just a sad little place, because it’s so small and made of old wood. It looks like a genuine death trap. I know I wouldn’t want to stay there, but I guess if I had no other choice, I would. There is nothing around this little shack; it’s basically stuck on the roadside surrounded by trees and grass. The tone of this paragraph is real heavy. It hurts to see this picture and think that people actually had to stay inside those things if they wanted shelter. It’s a negative thought to think about what these people went through everyday. When I see this picture, It makes me really sad. On the bright side, it makes me realize how lucky I am. You don’t ever really realize how lucky you are until you see harsh realities of what used to be, and in some places, what still is. I wonder why people forced other people to stay in these building that could collapse all over them in a minute. Can’t people just spend a little but more time to find better material to make a roadside shelter out of? People are people, no matter what they look like. Two questions I would ask the photographer of this picture would be: What is your opinion on places like this? Do you think that African Americans deserve better places to stay than this?

This photograph is outdoors, but indoors in a way because it is underneath a wooden deck. The lighting is pretty light outside. It’s obviously in the urban area because the setting is taken in a bus terminal. It is daytime, also.
In the photograph, there are people in the bus, and two waiting off towards the back there’s a man that really sticks out in this picture because he is wearing a white shirt. He’s more towards the front of the photo. He seems to be looking back at something. There are three people waiting at the terminal. On the actual bus there’s people sitting down in their seats but I cannot tell how many. The man in the front of the picture looks like he’s about 50 years or so old. The person sitting behind him looks the same age, if not older. The other people in the picture aren’t shown enough to determine their age. The man in the front is only pictured waist up, but he’s wearing a white collared long sleeved shirt with suspenders. He has a hat on his head. One woman behind him is wearing what seems to be a floral gown. I can’t see the clothing of the people on the bus. There are two things that really catch my eye when I first look at this picture- 1. The man in the white shirt really sticks out to me because of his shirt and 2. There’s a sign sticking out of the wall that says “colored waiting room.” I tend to notice that first because it’s in capital letters.
In this photograph, the people are waiting at a bus terminal. To the left of them is a store, I’m guessing. They’re standing under a wooden pavilion type structure. My guess is that it’s there so if people are waiting for a bus when it’s raining or snowing, they won’t get wet. The pavilion and brick building seem to be in pretty decent condition. Surrounding the structures are signs, people, and a bus.
I think that the tone of this photograph is heavy because even though it’s only a sign and a bus terminal, it shows how segregated it was back then, and that’s obviously a negative thing to be segregating people just because of their color. I think it’s dark, too, because it puts black people down.
I personally think that this picture shows how segregated life was back in the Great Depression. Even bus terminals were segregated! Now days, you can find anyone of any race, color, or ethnicity sitting on the side of the road waiting for a bus. I think it really shows how separated people were back then.
Two questions that I would ask the man in this photo would be:
- How do you feel about segregation?
- What’s it like not interacting with whites on a daily basis?
Leland, Mississippi, in the Delta area. June 1937. Dorothea Lange, photographer.
This photograph is taken outdoors during the daytime. It was taken in Leland, Mississippi in the delta area. I think it was taken in the urban area because you usually wouldn’t find movie theatre’s in the rural country area. The lighting is pretty light.
In this photograph, I see two African American people standing outside of a movie theater called the Rex Theatre for colored people. The men standing outside look about in their twenties or thirties. They’re both wearing dress pants and shoes, and collared shirts, possibly with a tie. They’re also both wearing hats. On the theatre are posters advertising movies.
In this photo is a business called the Rex Theatre for colored people. Its condition is not the greatest, and I could tell because it looks sort of run down and beat. Directly to the left of it is another business. To me, it looks like a barber shop. It’s very crowded. To the right is a fence.
I think that the tone of this photograph is heavy in a way, even though, physically, it only shows a movie theatre. Emotionally, however, it shows the hatred of blacks. They couldn’t even go to a movie theatre without being segregated.Therefore, this picture is obviously negative and dark.
This photograph represents how segregated the Great Depression really was. People couldn’t even simply go and watch a movie without being put down and kept separate from people of another race.
I would ask the men of this picture the following two questions: -Is every little thing, like movies, segregated? -Do people usually follow the rules of segregation?
1.Memphis, Tennessee. October 1939.
Marion Post Wolcott, photographer. 2.The setting of this photograph is outdoors during the daytime. It is obviously in the city. I can tell because there is a big line of buildings selling things. There are multiple people standing outside too. The sky in the picture is very light. 3.There are four men in this picture. Two of them look like they’re about 60+ years old, and the other two look to me as if they’re in their twenties. They’re all wearing nice dressy outfits with ties and coats. One of the younger men and both elders are wearing hats. All four of them are African American. The first thing that catches my eye is a sign that says “The Best Service for Colored only.” 4.In this photograph are a line of buildings, just like in a city. They all seem to be in well condition. There is no space between any of them, the stores are basically one huge building separated into individual sections. Surrounding the structure are signs advertising what store it is and people. 5.To me, the tone in the photograph represents the true life of segregation during the Great Depression. It shows that not only whites wanted to be segregated, blacks obviously did too. They wanted to provide the best service for those of the same race; African American. To me, it’s negative, dark, and heavy because of the harsh segregation. 6.This picture signifies the cruel separation during the Great Depression. To me it shows that African Americans wanted to give the best service to people of their own ethnicity. Whites and blacks couldn’t even go to the same hotel because of segregation. 7.– Do you work at the hotel? -If so, how many whites try to get into a black hotel?

2. This picture takes place outside near a drinking fountian. This picture was taken in an urban area. I can tell because there are buildings surroudning the child. It seem to be around two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
3. In this picture, there is one colored child. He looks to be around the age of fourteen. He seems to be wearing school clothes; a white shirt, with pants and a belt.
4. There is a drinking fountain and a tree with the sign 'colored' on it. There is also a brick house on the left and a school in the background. They are all in good condition. Many trees and other roads surround the structures.
5. The tone of this picture is heavy and negative. This is because the boy in the picture doesn't seem to happy that he has to dirnka t a specific fountain for people of his 'kind.'
6. This picture shows how everyone, even kids were separated during the Great Depression. Segregation had caused much unhappiness for those who were 'colored.' In this picture, there is a young school boy who is 'colored'. He goes to take a drink at the 'colored' fountain because the kids aren't allowed to use the same water fountain.
7. Two questions I would ask his boy would be:
-What was it like to live in such a segregated community?
-How were you treated in school?

2. This photograph takes place outside at a bus station. There is moderate lighting in this picture. This was taken in an urban area during the morning or afternoon.
3. In this picture, there are over a hundred people waiting at the bus station. It is very crowded. They seem to be on their way to work, with the clothes they are wearing. The white waiting room is all the way on the right side and the black side is all the way on the opposite side of the building. Also, there are a few buses parked on the street.
4. This picture is of a bus station that is in pretty good condition. There isn't much space with the large amount of people crowding the entire area. The surrounding structures include the buses, signs, and wooden poles and lanes.
5. The tone of this picture is neutral. This is because everyone in the picture seems to be just standing their waiting for the bus to come. The expressions on their faces are neither happy nor sad.
6. This photo depicts segregation because of the separate waiting rooms shown here. The white people have to wait in a certain area far away from the colored waiting room. They weren't even able to wait together! This shows that whites and colored people were always separated everywhere during the Great Depression.
7. Two questions I would ask these people are:
-How did you feel towards the separation of whites and the colored?
-Do you really think that waiting in a separate room for the bus really made much of a difference?

2. This picture takes place outside of a building in a rural area. It looks to be around afternoon time. There is moderate lighting.
3. In this picture there are four colored men. Two of them are standing and the other two are sitting together outside of the colored waiitng room, on the stairs. There is also a white woman behind the two standing colored men riding, a bike. The four men are wearing working clothes. Some of them are smoking cigarettes, too.
4. This photo features a brick building with a colored room/waiting room. There are also other buildings nearby and a few cars in the background.
5. The tone of this picture is heavy, dark, and negative. This is because the colored men look veyr unhappy in their condition. They look like they are angry at the way they have to live.
6. This picture shows how colored people were treated so differently from white people. They even had separate buildings. During the Great
Depression, the colored weren't so comfortable with how they were treated and how they had to go through life. Blacks and whites couldn't even stand together in the same room. People were going through bad times and segregation didn't make things any better.
7. Two questions I would ask these men are:
-What was it like to be treated so differently?
-What was your daily life like?

2- This photograph was taken outside in daylight. It is light out, with some shadows. It doesn't look rural,but yet it doesn't have a city feel to it, either.
3- There are no people in the photo. There is a simple hut that catches my eye; it says, "Colored dining Room in Rear".
4- In this picture there is a smaller sized house/hut. There are two doors; one says men, and the other is blank. This structure is surrounded by trees.
5- The tone of this photograph is negative. It shows the segregation of the two races. It is also dark becuase it doesn't show any interaction between whites and blacks.
6- This picture shows how truly separate the two races were during the Great Depression. It is interesting to see how different the Aferican Americans were treated compared to how they are treated now. In this mdern time, they are treated like any other person. But back in the ties of the Great Depression, they were looked upon as a separate species.
7- How big was the "colored" people dining room compared to the white?
Who do you think got treated better during the Great Depression and why?

2- This photograph seems to be taken inside a shop or a bar. The lighting is good enought to see everything. IT seems to be an urban area. I can't tell if it is day or night because it is inside.
3- There are three main people in this photograph. One man and two women. They seem to be looking at something outside of the picture frame. They are all middle-aged. The man is dressed casually with rousers and a white collared shirt. Both women are in dark dresses, and the woman farthest back carries a purse. The first thing that cought my eye was the faces of the three people because they were staring straight past the camera.
4- There are no structures in the picture. This photograph seemed to have taken place in a bar with many people. There are many people surrounding the three main subjects of the photo, and all of them seem to be happy and socializing with each other. On the back wall of the room there are drinks and bottles.
5- The tone of this photo is heavy, dark, and negative. In the background of the photo, on the wall there is a sign that says "Positively No Beer Sold To Indians." It signifies the discrimination of the white towards not only blacks, but indians as well.
6- This photograph shows how harsh the discrimination was during the Great Depression. There is a sign on the back wall that prohibits selling beer to Indians. This shows that there was discrimination to Idians, as well as the blacks during this time.
7- How do you feel about the discrimination agianst Indians?
Did any Indians ever come into the bar in the first place?

2- This photograph was taken from outside of a cafe. The lighting is alright, but you can't see much beyond the window of the cafe. It seems to be day because in the reflection of the window, you can see people and cars moving. It seems to be a urban area.
3- There aren't any clear images of people, but through the window you can see a distorted vision of two people. One lady, and one man. They are white. The lady seems to work in the cafe, and the man seems to be a customer.
4- This picture is a shot of a cafe window. In the background of the picutre, there are no physical structures, You can see the reflection of other buildings on the window.
5- This picture has a neutral tone; the only negative and dark thing in the photo is the fact that the cafe door says "white", which signifies that only white people can dine there.
6- This photgrqaph shows how different and separated the Great Depression was. By the sign on the cafe window, it signifies that only white people are allowed to eat here. Compared to nowadays, this is very segregated. These days peopleof every race and ethnicity will eat in the same place, sometimes even eat together. Btu during the Great Depression, acoording to this photograph, everyone ate in separate places and excluded certain races from others.
7- What would happen if a "colored" or Indian person walked into the Farmer's Cafe?
What is the point made when you segregate different races?

This picture was taken outdoors, during the day time. It looks like it could be around 2:30 in the afternoon.
In this picture there is a rest stop for bus passengers, and an African American dinning place in the back of the place. It doesn’t look like a new place, but it looks like the location was randomly chosen. It’s kind of a lonely place to stick a diner if you ask me.
The structure in the picture is the rest stop/diner. It is sort-of an old looking, cheaply built place to go. And Like I said before, I don’t think a lot of thought went into building this, because it doesn’t look like it was planned or anything. It looks more like a port-o-potty at a ball park than a diner.
The tone of this paragraph is positive, because even though it looks like a cheap place to go, especially to eat, it makes you happy that African Americans have some place to go at all. It’s not dark or light, but its gray. Its light in the way that African Americans were finally gaining freedom, but dark in the sense that they have to be separated from whites, as if they carried a disease.
This photo makes me wonder how African Americans could put up with all the racism and hate pointed directly toward them, for reasons they were born with, and cannot do anything about. It’s not fair, and if I were them, It would drive me to insanity.
Two questions I would ask the photographer of this picture would be: When you see places like this, does it make you sad or happy? If you were in charge of setting up places for African Americans, would you make them nicer than this?

2- This photograph was taken from outside of a cafe. The lighting is alright, but you can't see much beyond the window of the cafe. It seems to be day because in the reflection of the window, you can see people and cars moving. It seems to be a urban area.
3- There aren't any clear images of people, but through the window you can see a distorted vision of two people. One lady, and one man. They are white. The lady seems to work in the cafe, and the man seems to be a customer.
4- This picture is a shot of a cafe window. In the background of the picutre, there are no physical structures, You can see the reflection of other buildings on the window.
5- This picture has a neutral tone; the only negative and dark thing in the photo is the fact that the cafe door says "white", which signifies that only white people can dine there.
6- This photgrqaph shows how different and separated the Great Depression was. By the sign on the cafe window, it signifies that only white people are allowed to eat here. Compared to nowadays, this is very segregated. These days peopleof every race and ethnicity will eat in the same place, sometimes even eat together. Btu during the Great Depression, acoording to this photograph, everyone ate in separate places and excluded certain races from others.
7- What would happen if a "colored" or Indian person walked into the Farmer's Cafe?
What is the point made when you segregate different races?
